NT7B17: DrawObjects only work with realtime data

[nailz420]

Hi NT support,

I noticed that I am unable to check DrawObjects["tagname"] value or check the count of
DrawObjects Attached please find a simple strategy using a modified SMA indicator. The SMA indicator was modified to draw triangle up or down depending on its direction. The strategy simple uses that indicator and prints DrawObjects.count which is always 0 on historical data.

Please let me know if this is a bug of if I misunderstood the functionality.

Thanks,
Tim

Thanks nailz420, will take a look shortly.

I could reproduce this here when calling the indicator drawing from the strategy, works if I print for example from your test indicator directly - we'll check into.

nailz420, we checked into and this is expected - as you can't take control over other script's draw objects. It should work as expected if you access and print DrawObjects.Count from the indicator directly.
